+// A simple interface to the underlying energy-endpointer implementation, this
+// class lets callers provide audio as being recorded and let them poll to find
+// when the user has stopped speaking.
+//
+// There are two events that may trigger the end of speech:
+//
+// speechInputPossiblyComplete event:
+//
+// Signals that silence/noise has  been detected for a *short* amount of
+// time after some speech has been detected. It can be used for low latency
+// UI feedback. To disable it, set it to a large amount.
+//
+// speechInputComplete event:
+//
+// This event is intended to signal end of input and to stop recording.
+// The amount of time to wait after speech is set by
+// speech_input_complete_silence_length_ and optionally two other
+// parameters (see below).
+// This time can be held constant, or can change as more speech is detected.
+// In the latter case, the time changes after a set amount of time from the
+// *beginning* of speech.  This is motivated by the expectation that there
+// will be two distinct types of inputs: short search queries and longer
+// dictation style input.
+//
+// Three parameters are used to define the piecewise constant timeout function.
+// The timeout length is speech_input_complete_silence_length until
+// long_speech_length, when it changes to
+// long_speech_input_complete_silence_length.
